Always a fantastic time! For those who don't know Old Sacramento is a section of the city with a large amount of history and culture. It feels almost like you came right out of the 1800's with its wooden side walks, saloons, and horses. A lot of the attractions include: museums, train rides, hotels, candy shops, bars, restaurants, tattoo parlors, magic displays, puppetry, and even a clown here and there!
Lots of fun for the whole family at any time of year! There is a parking lot near by with reasonable prices, BUT if you can squeeze into a spot within the old sac area itself that's great to. Either way it's a charge.
The staff is always great.

This little town reminds me of New Orleans almost or like the wild Wild West! LOL! I recommend wearing comfortable shoes. Not heels lol.
I came here on a hot day, a really hot day! I think I went into every store, just so I can stay cool! Lol! But I stopped by just to check it out, and it was really cute and nice. A lot of little shops, candy shops, and bars! One of the shops there, I really did enjoy, I felt like it was Christmas! There were A few historic buildings. A few restaurants. If you walk across the train tracks, it'll take you to the river, and there is also a bike trail. It's also a really nice place if you want to take pictures.

If you are visiting Sacramento, the State Capitol should be your first stop. This historic building is architecturally beautiful and has a wonderful museum. Best of all it is free! The staff is super knowledgeable and really friendly. Especially Mario who possesses encyclopedic historical knowledge and loves to talk to visitors about the history of the capitol, California and the generations of Governors and Legislators that made history here. Double highly recommend.

Anyone can walk in at any time and wander around to look at many things like the architecture, museum, theater, rooms replicated for certain eras (like how the treasury room looked in the 1930s), gift shop... you don't have to make an appointment for a tour (and they're free) since they give them every hour. We were there on Labor Day and they even had some on the half hour. Friendly and informative tour guides. The family got a big kick out of it. Loved it.

Open free of charge to the public - 7,500 school groups (225,000 students) have visited the Museum - Museum is available for special events seating up to 50 people - 10,000 students each year participate in museum education field trips

This is a wonderful little museum full of lots of fun. You can easily picture what school must have been like in the 1840's. The desks and little readers sitting on them looked as though it was ready for the kids to arrive. There were wonderful items to look through and I especially liked the trivia written on the chalkboards. It looked as though the teacher had gotten her boards all ready for her students. It is adorable with a small playground right outside which the kids could have gone to. Then you look over and see the old wooden sidewalks and the candy store across the street. Really great museum. It is a MUST SEE.

I was showing my fiancé my home town and we were making a few quick early stops on our last morning in Sacramento before heading to the airport. She is a teacher and I thought it would be really cool to check out the Old Schoolhouse before leaving Old Sac. But it was 8:30am and they weren’t open yet. However as we were walking up I noticed a lady bringing in items and offered to help. She had me bring in some water for her and invited us in. After helping her she gave us a privet tour and told us all about the history of the school and Old Sacramento and introduced us to the local cats. It was a really cool experience for us both.
